There are some issues with the PID diagram review that should perhaps be raised.

Used to isolate devices? 2. Does a pneumatic ball valve require a manual valve on both the upstream and downstream sides?
It’s not certain; it depends on the necessity of the process. Of course, it would be better to have an extra manual valve in these places. They’re not all necessary either.
Yes, it’s better than nothing. Even the best quality pneumatic valves can fail. It’s useful to have a manual shut-off valve in case of a failure
1. It depends on what device it is and why it needs to be disconnected. 2. It’s not necessary
It would be best to take screenshots of the controversial parts of the PID, and analyze each specific issue individually
These are not necessarily required, but they need to be brought up; the process engineering team, the equipment engineering team, and the instrumentation team should discuss them together and make a decision.
It depends on the process conditions; each specific issue should be analyzed individually
The answer to both of your questions is no; it’s not necessarily the case that there will be hand valves.
From the perspective of the operations and maintenance field, they are all essential. Otherwise, how can this device be repaired online?
1. It’s best to have it. It can cut off the device in case of a fault. 2. It depends; it’s not necessarily required.
The valves should be installed in accordance with the requirements for operation, safety, and maintenance
